Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum: An update and implications for treatment

Figure 7 Positron emission tomography/computed tomography appearance of rectal squamous cell carcinoma. Pre (a, b, c) and post (A, B, C) treatment fused FDG-PET/CT imaging in axial (A, a), sagittal (B, b) and coronal (C, c) planes of a rectal SCC (T), demonstrating a complete metabolic response. [FDG is also visibly concentrated anteriorly in the bladder (Bl) in images a, B, b, and in the endometrium (U) in image B (menstruation)]. FDG: Fluorodeoxyglucose; CT: Computed tomography; PET: Positron emission tomography; SCC: Squamous cell carcinoma.
